Museo Nacional de Sciencias Naturales, can you say that 5 times fast?

Today is yet another festival day here in Madrid. It is a celebration of the Community of Madrid's patron saint, la Virgen de la Almudena. What does that mean for me? It means I don't have work today! My friend Helen and I spent our morning  at the Natural Science Museum, checking out weird things in jars and enough taxidermy specimens to last a lifetime. It was a delightful way to spend our day off. Back to school tomorrow for my half-day-Thursday, then it's hello weekend!

Way too many animal heads...
This crab was huge, probably 4 feet across, yummy!
